Shell Rotella 15w-40 from Wal-Mart by the gallon and Napa/Wix Gold filters.

The Shell Rotella is pretty much religious for many diesel owners, and the Napa/Wix Racing filters are the best on the market (mine and many others opinions).

the Delvac is a top quality diesel oil also. I use it myself, with a wix filter of course.

You see alot of blue jugs at truck stops...Chevron Delvac 1300.


I change mine every 5-7K max. A change is cheap ins. and easy to do. There is no way, diesel or not, I'm running oil for 10K miles.

I use Amsoil Full synthetic 15w-40 Diesel and Marine oil in my 2004 F-350 6.0 Diesel. Also use Ford filters. Never had a problem oil related and use it as a commercial hauler.

Me 2 / 06 6.0 F-350. Had oil tested after 10k results showed
it could have been run at least another 5k under the same conditions.
Amsoil Superduty and Ea line of filters
100% more capacity
95% Operating efficiency
oil pressure relief valve
Anti Drain back valve keeps dirty oil in the filter when engine is not running.
Statistic's not opinion's
